Finding the Belovedness Within: A Journey towards Spiritual Transformation | Michael Hryniuk
Partner with work of CareImpact and Neighbourly!
Guest: Michael Hryniuk, PhD, author, educator, consultant, spiritual director, and practicing psychotherapist.
In our conversation with Michael Hryniuk, we delve into the significance of belovedness in Christian spirituality. Michael Hryniuk shares his own spiritual journey, growing up in a Ukrainian Catholic family and eventually becoming the inaugural director of the Henry Nowan Society of Canada and the US. He emphasizes the importance of embracing our original blessing rather than fixating on sin and striving to earn God's love. According to Michael Hryniuk, the essence of the Christian experience lies in recognizing ourselves as beloved by God. He provides practical strategies to convey this message of belovedness, such as reaching out to single mothers and individuals with disabilities. Join us to uncover Michael Hryniuk's unique approach as a therapist and how it relates to his belief in God's boundless compassion, mercy, care, and tenderness.
